        Sync is nice but I’m on ios. Currently using Avelon and it shows link previews, but only for the site.

      It still shocks me every time I encounter people browsing the internet without an ad blocker. Just why?

          Install AdGuard pro and replace YouTube app with a shortcut to open YouTube in Safari. Adblockers can’t block ads in the app but can in Safari.

          She wouldn’t, that’s why she bought an iPhone, because “it just works!”.
